Now the Text that I have chosen, is suitable for this occasion; for this Reverend Minister was first a righteous man; he was righteous in an Evangelical sense, he was one that was justified and sanctified. Secondly; He was a merciful man both in an active and passive sense; he was one that showed mercy to the distressed Members of Jesus Christ, and he was one to whom God showed mercy; this righteous and merciful man is now perished as to his outward condition, not as to his everlasting condition; but as to his outward bodily condition he is perished, and he is taken away: The word in the Hebrew is very emphatical; Merciful men, Colliguntur, ⟨p. 390⟩are gathered; it is the same word that is used concerning Josiah, 2 King, 22. 10▪ Thou shalt be gathered to thy fathers, and go to thy grave in peace, and shalt not see the evil that I will bring upon this Nation. This godly and righteous man is now gathered as ripe Corn in the Barn of Heaven he is taken away from the evil that is to come, from the beholding that evil that is coming upon the sinful World he is taken away in mercy, that he may not be troubled with the troubles that are coming upon many; he is taken away from the evil to come.
